Document set-up. Illustrator. CS4

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4

Illustrator allows you to change the default setup options for your document, this includes units of measure, transparency grid display, background colour and type settings such as language, quote style, super script and subscript size and exportability.

You can close this dialog box by clicking 'Edit Artboards' this also activates the Artboard tool.

- You can either select Document Set-up button in the control panel, or:
Choose File > Document Set-up.

- Choose options as you would like

- If you want to do a simple change such as switching you art board from Portrait to Landscape, then select 'Edit Artboards' in Document Set-up.

The Document Set-up button is visible when nothing else is selected.

Another useful setting found on illustrator is the 'Simulate Coloured Paper' option, this allows the document to show the designer how certain colours would look printed on coloured paper e.g. if yellow was printed onto red paper it would look orange.
